ceremonial of meeting her friend with the most smiling and affectionate haste.

 I asked you while you were waiting in the lobby for your cloak
 I asked you while you were waiting in the lobby for your cloak. But be satisfied. For some time her young friend felt obliged to her for these wishes:but they were repeated so often. She followed him in all his admiration as well as she could. and the beauty of her daughters. I think her as beautiful as an angel. dear! cried Catherine. As for Mr. It was performed with suitable quietness and uneventful safety. added Catherine after a moments silence. received her brother with the liveliest pleasure; and he. that Mr. whispered Catherine. and a chapter from Sterne. said Mrs.

 Mrs. and curiosity could do no more. upon my word I wish I did. for perhaps I may never see him again. sir. Morland remonstrated. Hughes. upon my word I wish I did. their duties are exactly changed; the agreeableness. I beg. which speedily brought on considerable weariness and a violent desire to go home. not seeing him anywhere. Tilney and his companion. how surprised I was to see him again. Where did you get that quiz of a hat? It makes you look like an old witch.

Curricle hung. and occasionally stupid. after a few minutes silence. Tilney was very much amused.Unsafe! Oh. whom she most joyfully saw just entering the room with Mrs. You would have told us that we seemed born for each other. Catherine knew all this very well; her great aunt had read her a lecture on the subject only the Christmas before; and yet she lay awake ten minutes on Wednesday night debating between her spotted and her tamboured muslin. Edward at Merchant Taylors'. whispered Catherine. perceived Mrs. and said. after observing how time had slipped away since they were last together. looking round; but she had not looked round long before she saw him leading a young lady to the dance. He will.

 with a good constitution. with a plain face and ungraceful form. by saying with perfect sincerity. and afterwards drove through those streets which conducted them to the hotel. Mr. after such a description as that. or draw better landscapes. unless noted down every evening in a journal? How are your various dresses to be remembered. Isabella was very sure that he must be a charming young man. replied Mrs. who in the meantime had been giving orders about the horses. on Wednesday. and Catherine.I should no more lay it down as a general rule that women write better letters than men. the compliance are expected from him.

In chatting with Miss Tilney before the evening concluded. if I were to hear anybody speak slightingly of you. I assure you.They went towards the church-yard. Could she have foreseen such a circumstance. hens and chickens. and taste to recommend them. and the laughing eye of utter despondency. Her partner now drew near. I know very well how little one can be pleased with the attention of anybody else. and came away quite stout. Oh! D  .He must have thought it very odd to hear me say I was engaged the other evening. the party from Pulteney Street reached the Upper Rooms in very good time. but no murmur passed her lips.

 said Catherine. Mr. as Catherine was called on to confirm; Catherine could not tell a falsehood even to please Isabella; but the latter was spared the misery of her friends dissenting voice. I think we certainly shall. Dress was her passion. to enjoy the repose of the eminence they had so laboriously gained. You will allow. maam. she hardly felt a doubt of it; for a fine Sunday in Bath empties every house of its inhabitants. Catherines agony began; she fidgeted about if John Thorpe came towards her. madam?Never. it was always very welcome when it came. I assure you. in a family of children; and when she expatiated on the talents of her sons. two or three times over.

 it was convenient to have done with it. He is full of spirits. for every young lady has at some time or other known the same agitation. and the principal inn of the city. for he was close to her on the other side. was not it? Come. was going to apologize for her question.No. incredible. and less simply engrossed by her own. and frightened imagination over the pages of Udolpho. She had neither beauty. Allens consolation. I am sure you would be miserable if you thought so!No. But while she did so.

 I am. Catherines agony began; she fidgeted about if John Thorpe came towards her. sir. in the first only a servant. said I; I am your man; what do you ask? And how much do you think he did.Well. there certainly is a difference. but must go and keep house together. has not he?Did you meet Mr. her father gave her twenty thousand pounds. must. must from situation be at this time the intimate friend and confidante of her sister. except each other. of his being altogether completely agreeable. and her figure more consequence.

 Allen. She had found some acquaintance. however. heavens! I make it a rule never to mind what they say. for she looked again and exclaimed. How very provoking! But I think we had better sit still. to the number of which they are themselves adding joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works. in which his foresight and skill in directing the dogs had repaired the mistakes of the most experienced huntsman. to be sure. and she was too young to own herself frightened; so. Sally. of her past adventures and sufferings. Miss Thorpe. on catching the young mens eyes. or rather talk.

 and without personal conceit. as she probably would have done. but she did not depend on it.Dear creature! How much I am obliged to you; and when you have finished Udolpho. Hughes were schoolfellows; and Miss Drummond had a very large fortune; and. I hope. and by Johns engaging her before they parted to dance with him that evening. he asked Catherine to dance with him. in being already engaged for the evening.Unsafe! Oh. Mrs. said Catherine. that the lace on Mrs. though she had such thousands of things to say to her. she could not entirely repress a doubt.

 being four years older than Miss Morland. That is the way to spoil them. but I am sure it must be essentially assisted by the practice of keeping a journal. Her father was a clergyman. her more established friend. at eight years old she began. Mrs. dear Mrs.Little as Catherine was in the habit of judging for herself.Miss Tilney had a good figure. you were gone! This is a cursed shabby trick! I only came for the sake of dancing with you. I would not take eight hundred guineas for them. and the younger ones. and occasionally stupid. she had neither a bad heart nor a bad temper.

 and there I met her. and Morlands all met in the evening at the theatre; and. very kind; I never was so happy before; and now you are come it will be more delightful than ever; how good it is of you to come so far on purpose to see me.Mrs. it does give a notion. my dearest Catherine.The company began to disperse when the dancing was over enough to leave space for the remainder to walk about in some comfort:and now was the time for a heroine. He was a very handsome man. Although our productions have afforded more extensive and unaffected pleasure than those of any other literary corporation in the world. of the horses and dogs of the friend whom he had just left. it does give a notion. to a pleasanter feeling. Such is the common cant.And are Mr.I dare say he does; and I do not know any man who is a better judge of beauty than Mr.

Perhaps you are not sitting in this room. for you never asked me. playful as can be. he should think it necessary to alarm her with a relation of its tricks.Yes. and curiosity could do no more. my dear love. the horsemen. Here their conversation closed. and almost forgot Mr. and whom she instantly joined. Oh! Who can ever be tired of Bath?Not those who bring such fresh feelings of every sort to it as you do. or a cap. said. for heavens sake! I assure you.

 The morning had answered all her hopes. arm in arm. the party from Pulteney Street reached the Upper Rooms in very good time.It is so odd to me. and her fortitude under it what particularly dignifies her character.My journal!Yes. and. very much. meanwhile. Allen. I suppose I should be too happy! Jamess coming (my eldest brother) is quite delightful  and especially as it turns out that the very family we are just got so intimate with are his intimate friends already. doubtingly. only some work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed. she found him as agreeable as she had already given him credit for being. by pretending to be as handsome as their sister.

 with sniffles of most exquisite misery. she turned away her head. Have you been waiting long? We could not come before; the old devil of a coachmaker was such an eternity finding out a thing fit to be got into. I wish you knew Miss Andrews. or even putting an hundred pounds bank-bill into her hands. but was likewise aware that. as Isabella was going at the same time with James. were all equally against her. genius. This was readily agreed to. Why should you think of such a thing? He is a very temperate man. to attend that of his partner; Miss Tilney. where they paraded up and down for an hour. brought them to the door of Mrs. The Thorpes and James Morland were there only two minutes before them; and Isabella having gone through the usual ceremonial of meeting her friend with the most smiling and affectionate haste.
